Most people think of February 14th as only Valentine’s Day, but few realize that this holiday is also National Cream-Filled Chocolate Day, which, if you think about it, makes quite a bit of sense. After all, how many people receive boxes of cream-filled chocolates on this holiday?

We figure quite a few people get boxes of chocolates, so anyone wishing to observe this holiday and Valentine’s Day can kill two birds with one stone. Of course, anyone celebrating this day will have a pretty hard time deciding what types of chocolates they want to enjoy.

Once that little task has been accomplished, you can then give out this sampling pack to your loved one for Valentine’s Day or enjoy it on your own. It’s also a good day to use the hashtag #CreamFilledChocolatesDay on social media to spread the word about this sweet holiday.
